Dialysis itself is a lot ofstress and further twice a week dialysis is an additional negative factor being an inadequate dialysis dose.
Now it is being well proven that patients on dialysis have sleep disorders and need to be adressed. He may need a sleep study and further management depending on the report. Discuss with a nephrologist sbout dialysis frequency as inadequate dialysis may add to the problems.
